KenjiOgiwara Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 48 minutes ago, Okonokos said: Exactly this. At the moment we have Mings, Hause, Konsa and let's just assume Chester is fit. 4 centre back is not enough for a whole season. And if Chester is crocked, then we have 3! And one of them is very young and may take a few years before he's ready for the Prem. So I'd say we'd be mad not to get in one or two more centre backs really. And I'd also argue Hause will cover at LB, cause the alternative is Taylor (whom I think everyone will agree don't cut it). So if Chester is crocked or we get hit by suspensions and injuries to Mings or Konsa, then we suddenly are struggling to field a defensive pairing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? They try to speak english as much as possible at Brugge as it seems more professional towards international players. Pretty sure Wesley will have basic understanding. Engels is a good CB, quite physical and good in the air. He left Brugge because he was sure he could get into the PL. Olympiakos wasn’t really a step forward. He had to leave because the coach who bought him got fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol wanted 20 plus for Webster isn't it nice for us to have actual back up plans. 1st choice, young british players who speak the lingo and probably easier to settle in, etc. 20m for webster? jog on, we'll just get engels for 7m. 30-sodding-million for philips? fine, we'll just have luiz for half the price...

Vive_La_Villa Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I know nothing about this player but I like that we are signing squad fillers at the same time as big signings. It seems to be superb business by the club so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummybloke Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Can play in defence or dcm and highly rated. Good price if 7 million especially as like hause, can be cover 2 positions. Now to move on the expensive signings of attacking players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
